Welcome to
COM 465 Communicating on the Internet [The COM378 in the Flash window
above is a mistake and should be 465]. Use the links in the left
column.
- This course will explore
communication and the Internet. As well as lectures and presentations,
there will be a strong practical component in which students will set up
their own web presence and network with others.
- The menu at the left will guide you
through this course.
- Generally ~ the first hour will be
my presentation and after a break we will have close to one and a half
hour to work on projects - the practical part of the class.
- There is no hard copy reader or
syllabus for this course. Everything is online. In two
places. Your first try should be http://www.albany.edu/~neuage/com465/index.html
and (because sometimes the uni server is down) http://www.geocities.com/com465_neuage/index.htmland/or
https://www.angelfire.com/ex/saratoga/com465/index.html
Please check the daily link (daily) for updates.
- This is a short intense course worth
a full semesters three-points, therefore you can not miss any classes.
One class (three-hours) is equal to missing a week of regular semester
classes. If you think you will miss any classes please see me on the
first night, as this course may not be right for you.
- Any course questions please address
to me in Web CT email.
- I will be in my office most days
during the course. Room 386 in the Social Science building - phone: 442
2604.
- This lab will be closed outside of
class - some of the software we are using is only available on these
computers therefore you need to do some of your work totally here.
- For this course, the cultural context of
communication refers to the Western European beliefs, values and norms
common to Western European countries, which may differ from the cultural
context of some students enrolled in the course.
Money well spent
1. You will need a headset
with a microphone
2. You will need a
floppy-disk to save your work on.

Readings
You will locate and access
readings online for both tests and for class discussion and your journal.
Time will be provided for most readings in class before the practical as
you will need to be prepared to discuss issues from the readings in your
practical, journal and tutor's voice-forum.
Readings will appear on the
page for the day.
Feel free to call me Terrell
instead of Professor or Saint Terrell or anything else-
Cheers
